A years-long shadow war between Iran and Israel has been heating up in recent months, with Israel carrying out airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria and Lebanon. Iranian officials said they were not aware of Hamas plans for the attack but have since repeatedly threatened retaliation.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Raisi hailed Iran's unprecedented attack and vowed a massive and harsh response to any Israeli retaliation.
